The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 21: ‘Cause And Effect’
I may sound like a broken record, but the reason why The Flash works as a character is that he’s a hopeful figure. In a universe of dark, sullen, and brooding superheroes he’s always been a particularly bright oasis from, what has been affectionately dubbed...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 20: ‘I Know Who You Are’
Let’s just say it, The Flash took way too long to reveal Savitar’s true identity. In delaying the God of Speed’s identity, the creative staff sapped some much needed momentum from the story. So of course it makes sense that tonight’s episode...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 19: ‘The Once And Future Flash’
Have we turned a corner? Could it be that tonight’s episode of the Flash was a signal that things were finally going to improve? In a nutshell? Maybe. “The Once and Future Flash” dived right back into Savitar’s illusive identity. With no...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 16: ‘Into The Speed Force’
“Into The Speed Force” picked up mere hours after last week’s episode. Wally, trapped in a Speed Force prison built for Savitar, is trapped for eternity unless Barry tries to save him. With his home life in shambles, our titular hero dives into the...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 15: ‘The Wrath of Savitar’
This week’s episode of The Flash, was a bit of a mixed bag for me. While it finally started moving the Savitar plot forward, it also incorporated a lot of “CW” elements that felt less than organic. Even so, “The Wrath of Savitar” was...

I can imagine that producing The Flash is a masterclass of juggling expectations. At the end of last week’s episode, Gorilla Grodd was poised to invade Earth-1 with an army of sentient gorillas who had a hankering for battle. The expectation was obvious, an hour long invasion story of Gorillas decimating Central City. Obviously that’s...

The Flash has had it’s fair share of bumps and bruises after the uneven finish of season two. Even so, the show has spent some significant time trying to right the ship and has been successful on the whole. While the effects of Flashpoint are still being felt, Barry is learning how to become a better hero and leader...

Since his introduction, H.R. Wells (aka Hipster Wells) has been a bit of an odd duck for Team Flash. While he has a certain brilliance for creative problem solving, his lack of scientific knowhow has made him less than helpful at times. This has led to a dynamic in the team that could be described as “mildly annoyed,” especially...

There seems to be a consensus amongst the critics that somehow, The Flash has decided to give up on the Flashpoint storyline and change the story’s focus on the future, namely Iris’ murder. I can’t say the same. Since the beginning of the season, we’ve seen some serious fallout from Barry’s attempt to tamper with...

In previous years, the mid-season episode of The Flash marks the reveal of something earth shattering which completely changes the tone of the back half of the season by upping the ante with even higher stakes. This year was no different as “The Present” sets up a horrible vision of the future while getting our villains back on...
